Happy New Year, Student Affairs Colleagues!
We are off to an amazing start. I am seeing increasing in-person engagement with all activities across our campuses from the Eagle Experience programs, to utilization of the ARC and RAC, to the longer line at Starbucks! Thank you for all you do to cultivate an engaging co-curricular experience where students are exposed to intentional learning and transformative engagement opportunities. I enjoyed visiting all the division offices in Statesboro and Armstrong these last two weeks and expressing my thank you to as many of you personally as I could.
If you haven’t done it yet or need to be reminded again of our impact on the student experience, check out our IMPACT summary here. If you missed the State of the University address, look for the posting of the presentation to be shared soon. The president shared his vision for the challenges and opportunities ahead. What will Student Affairs do to be innovative?
The president also charged an Armstrong Task Force to explore academic programs and their delivery from Savannah. Megan Feasel, Mark Whitesel, Ken Gassiot, and I are the division representatives to this group. Megan Feasel is leading the student engagement work team and we will be discussing this more in the fall. I look forward to more discussions about this.
Also, a BIG shout out to Jodi Kennedy, the Office of Leadership and Community Engagement, and the Sustainability Team for their meticulous work resulting in the AASHE STARS Bronze designation. While this work was collaborative, involving many individuals across several divisions, our own OLCE team led the charge to submit our application that resulted in GS’s first recognition with STARS. Another job well done!
Keep up the great work! Check out this edition of the newsletter to learn more about opportunities to be involved.
Go Eagles!
